Thanks Bob,
Western Hemispheres has the valeos for $274 each. It's going to need a muffler also. Is there any benefit to sticking with oem? The flowmasters come in at about a third the price. How about drive shafts? The outer boots are shot, haven't taken a close look at the inners, have heard it is a bear to do the boots and you are better off replacing the whole unit, big $$$, but considering the questionable time that the cv joints have been greaseless I'm inclined to just replace the whole unit.
